5.0 out of 5 stars Stott better and safer than others, April 8, 2009

This review is from: STOTT PILATES: Prenatal Pilates on the Mat (DVD)

Pilates works the perfect muscle groups for labor and post-natal health, especially if you pair it with your Kegels. I used to be certified to teach Pilates, and have learned Stott is known for staying mostly true to the technique Joseph Pilates intended. Some of the other more popular Pilates DVDs do not take the time to teach correct fundamentals, which are CRITICAL to receiving the full benefits of the exercises. I recommend this DVD over several others, especially for those not certified in a fitness/athletics field.

The program in this video also adheres to my OB's guidelines such as never lying on my back, and always using the correct muscles to support my abdomen in certain positions. I started doing this video at about 28 weeks after being only moderately active my whole second trimester, and I'm doing fine with it. I don't do it every day, but I could with no issues.

When you try Pilates, take it slowly. Even though you may not feel it immediately, you will work your muscles MORE this way. This video allows you to do just that.

This review is from: STOTT PILATES: Prenatal Pilates on the Mat (DVD)

I am in my 2nd trimester and started using Stott Prenatal Pilates on the Mat dvd and I think it's great. I usually work out 2-3 times a week and do many different types of workouts from spin class, bikram's yoga, free weights, to kick boxing. I am not super buff or anything, but eat pretty well and like a good workout. Having suffered a miscarriage last year, my doc told me to take it easy my first trimester and do light exercising if I wanted to the rest of my pregnancy. I did not exercise during the first trimester so I've been very anxious to start doing something..anything!

What I love about this dvd is that it is 30 minutes, so you get a full workout in a short amount of time. Plus, all you really need is a floor to do the exercises on. This workout definitely wasn't hard for me, but then again I'm just looking for something light to keep my body moving. I would highly suggest it for anyone looking for a good prenatal exercise.

STOTT PILATES: Prenatal Pilates on the Mat
This video is nice for women of all pilates abilities. I find the excercises and stretches very helpful. The one drawback I've found is that the workout is 30 minutes long. If you have the time (and energy), it's worth it. Also, there is a lot of intoduction material that gets old after awhile. So, I'm finding myself in the market for a new workout video with a little more flexibility timewise, as well as for when I just don't feel like doing an entire 30 minute workout. I will keep using this one for when I feel the urge to do a full blown workout.
